It’s Cyber Monday, and we want to make it easy for you to shop local from the comfort and safety of home. We always support shopping small and local when you can, but this year especially, when so many small businesses in the community are struggling due to COVID-19.
This list will be updated over the holiday season to add more Delaware small businesses that sell gift-worthy items that can be purchased online. If you have or know a business that should be added to the list (with or without an Instagram), email holly@technical.ly. Happy holidays!
